I am a senior scientist at the University of Virginia, with a
joint appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering and
Systems and Information Engineering. I am also an affiliated
faculty member in the NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center
(NERC) for Advanced
Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies
(ASSIST). My research is in data science and analytics and
cyber-human systems, with a focus on developing robust, adaptive
and efficient cyber-physical-social systems through innovative
data science insights and methodologies and novel mobile and
wearable sensing systems design with provable guarantee to
understand, examine and advance the relationship between human and
technology. I am co-leading Integrated
Networked Embedded Real-time Technologies in Applications
(INERTIA) Group. Here is my latest CV.
